If those continuing pregnancy rumours are to be believed, then these pictures from Gisele Bundchen's new campaign for Loewe aren't helping any. The Brazilian supermodel has once again sparked rumours that she is expecting, after she was reportedly ecstatic over the news at Sao Paulo Fashion Week. She then fuelled further speculation when she took to the catwalk with her belly cleverly disguised. Now, Gisele fronts Stuart Vevers's latest handbag collection for Loewe with her stomach region also hidden beneath an array of gorgeous new leather goodies.

It's a damn shame people don't wear hats any more. Not only are they remarkably handy (protect your hair from the sun/disguise bad hair days/hide things under them), they also add instant pizazz to your outfit. And I don't use the word pizazz lightly. The author of one of my favourite blogs, The Decida Style, always bemoans us Brits for not wearing lipstick, and I reckon she'd take similar issue with our lack of interest in hats.

It might sound like a weird combination (okay, it is) but Ronnie Wood is teaming up with Liberty of London to launch a collection of accessories and clothing.
The Rolling Stone turned fine artist is lending his creative abilities to the British heritage store. Called 'Ronnie Wood for Liberty of London', the range will include travel holdalls, clutches, jersey dresses for women and T-shirts for men. They will bare images of Wood's paintings adapted into prints by Liberty's creative director Tamara Salman. The line will retail prices from £175 to £2,000. It will land in store from October onwards.
"I wanted to work with Liberty of London because of the great tradition that Liberty has of artistic collaborations," said Wood, referring to the store's work with William Morris, Archibald Knox and Bernard Nevill.

It's anchors aweigh for Kate Moss and Daria Werbowy who make up Longchamp's autumn/winter '09 campaign girls. For the spring/summer '09 season, the handbag label paired Kate with Sasha Pivovarova, and now it's Daria who has joined the fold. Photographed once again by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the vibrant ads contrast the models against a row of white-uniformed sailors. It seems quite timely since New York's Fleet Week was only a couple of weeks ago.

I've never really been one for Alice In Wonderland. Lewis Carroll didn't sell it to me, and Disney certainly didn't. I've always been more of a Grimm's fairytales gal, but even I have to admit that when it comes to fashion, Alice has it owned. Her trippy Wonderland adventures are up there with Harajuku girls and 'nautical' for catwalk inspiration. Danish jeweller Alidra Alic is the latest designer to feel the Alice effect, although her ethereal designs are anything but Disney...

Forget the TV show, Paris Hilton looks set to have found a new BFF in the form of Peaches Geldof.
The notorious tabloid twosome bumped into each other at Penelope Cruz's party in Cannes this week where Paris reportedly asked Peaches to model her new range of hair jewellery in Britain.
"Peaches is such a sweetie. I can't wait to bring my bling to London where she'll be just perfect to model it with me," she told the Mirror, after they swapped phone numbers.
I don't know about you, but I'm getting a bit fed up of seeing Paris and her 'hair jewellery' all over Cannes. That and her other accessory - Doug Reinhardt.
Find out the real reason Paris is in Cannes after the jump...
